- the non-pneumatic tire 100 includes an annular inner ring 108 (hidden in this view, but shown in Figure 3A and 3B ) having an axis of rotation, an annular outer ring 106 and a webbing 102 extending between the annular inner ring 108 and the annular outer ring 106 .
- a series of spokes may be used in place of the webbing.
- any connecting structure may be employed to connect the annular inner ring to the annular outer ring.
- the webbing 102 includes a plurality of openings 104 .
- the plurality of openings 104 have a honeycomb geometry, including both hexagonal openings and trapezoid-shaped openings.
- the openings may have any geometric shape.
- the elements of the webbing 102 above an axis of rotation of the non-pneumatic tire 100 experience a tensile force, while the elements of the webbing 102 below the axis of rotation experience a compression force. In some embodiments, the elements of the webbing 102 below the axis of rotation may buckle from the compression force.
- the outer annular ring 106 can support the applied load on the non-pneumatic tire 100 as the applied load is transmitted by tension through the webbing 102 .

- the first rim component 202 includes a first rim flange 208a and a first lip 214a , and is configured to extend partially (not shown in this figure) through a first side of the annular inner ring 106 of the non-pneumatic tire 100 .
- the second rim component 204 includes a second rim flange 208b and a second lip 214b , and the second rim component 204 is configured to extend partially through a second side of the annular inner ring 106 of the non-pneumatic tire 100 .
- the rim assembly 200 also includes a plurality of lateral rim component support structures 212 .
- the plurality of lateral rim component support structures 212 are secured to the first rim component 202 and the second rim component 204 and inserted into the webbing 102 of the non-pneumatic tire 100 . This secures the rim assembly 200 to the webbing 102 of the non-pneumatic tire 100 .
- the plurality of lateral rim component support structures 212 are stainless steel cores.
- the plurality of lateral rim component support structures 212 are aluminum cores.
- the plurality of lateral rim component support structures 212 are powder coated steel.
- the plurality of lateral rim component support structures 212 are carbon fiber composite.
- the number of lateral rim component support structures 212 varies depending upon the geometry of the tire webbing 102 . In one embodiment, the number of plurality of lateral rim component support structures 212 matches the number of openings in the webbing 102 of the non-pneumatic tire 100 . In such an embodiment, each of the plurality of openings 104 in the non-pneumatic tire webbing 102 will have a lateral rim component support structure 212 . In another embodiment, the number of plurality of lateral rim component support structures 212 equal less than the number of openings in the webbing 102 of the non-pneumatic tire 100 but still provide support to the overall webbing 102 allowing for a variable number of later rim component support structures 212 to be used.
- the dimensions of the plurality of lateral rim component support structures 212 varies with the geometry of the tire support structure.
- the plurality of lateral rim component support structures 212 can be dimensioned to fit snugly in the openings of the geometry of the tire support structure or there can be gaps between the structures and the webbing.
- at least one of the openings had two or more lateral rim component support structures disposed therethrough.
- a first plurality of fasteners 206a and a second plurality of fasteners 206b secure the plurality of lateral rim component support structures 212 to the rim assembly when the plurality of lateral rim component support structures 212 are inserted into the webbing 102 of the non-pneumatic tire 100 .
- the first plurality of fasteners 206a and the second plurality of fasteners 206b are screws.
- the first plurality of fasteners 206a and the second plurality of fasteners 206b are locking bolts.
- the fasteners 206a , 206b do not require specialized tools, but can be fastened by a standard tool such as a screwdriver or socket wrench.
- the fasteners 206a , 206b may be adapted to be used by specialized tools to prevent removal by unauthorized individuals.
- the lateral rim component support structures 212 may be attached to the non-pneumatic tire such that they exert a radial force on the on the annular inner ring 108 . Such a force would compress the annular inner ring 108 and may further apply a tensile force on the tire webbing 102 . Alternatively, the lateral rim component support structure may not exert a force against the annular inner ring. In either embodiment, the lateral rim component support structures 212 apply a torque to the tire webbing 102 during rotation of the rim assembly.
- a locking plate 210 is affixed to the first rim lip 214a and second rim lip 214b lips.
- the locking plate 210 is interchangeable.
- the locking plate 210 is centrally located.
- the locking plate 210 is offset from center within the rim assembly 200.
- the assembled rim assembly 200 can be inserted and locked to a tire support structure without the need of adhesive or other additional bonding agents aside from the fasteners.
- the vehicle axes will turn the rim and cause the plurality of lateral rim component support structures 212 to exert a force against the webbing 102 of the tire 100 causing the tire 100 to rotate.
- Figure 3A illustrates a partially assembled reusable rim before it is inserted into the non-pneumatic tire.
- the plurality of lateral rim component support structures 212 are secured to a second rim component 204 using a second plurality of fasteners 206b .
- a locking plate 210 is also secured to the second rim component 204 .
- the plurality of lateral rim component support structures 212 are inserted into the webbing 102 around the inner annular ring 108 and the plurality of lateral rim component support structures 212 is secured to the first rim component 202 using the first set of fasteners 206a .
- the cylindrical reusable rim can be completely removed from the webbing 102 of the non-pneumatic tire.
- Figure 4 illustrates a perspective view of a partially assembled reusable rim 200 inserted into the non-pneumatic tire 100
- Figure 4A illustrates a detail view of a portion of Figure 4
- the partially assembled reusable rim 200 is inserted into the non-pneumatic tire 100 such that the lateral rim component support structures 212 extend through the openings 104 adjacent the inner annular ring 108 and the rim flange of the first rim component 202 is in contact with a side of the tire.
- the second rim component (not shown in this view) may then be aligned with and fastened to the first rim component 202 and the lateral rim component support structures 212 .
- the lateral rim component support structures 212 are shaped to correspond to the profile of the web shape as close as possible to efficiently transfer the load from the web to the rim. Therefore, in alternative embodiments in which the openings vary in size, the shape of the lateral rim component support structures may also vary in shape. In another alternative embodiment, however, the shape of the lateral rim component structures may differ significantly from the profile of the web.
